APU’s Preschool & Elementary campus in District 11 delivers an American curriculum with instruction in English and dedicated English Language Development (ELD) support. Learning in the early years emphasizes play-based approaches alongside structured programs such as Jolly Phonics, Go Math, Interactive Science, and leveled readers. Beyond classrooms, younger students can join the STEM-Robotics Club and take part in music activities and International Arts Week.
